    What's it called again?
  2. wsnydes
    Yes.
  3. wsnydes
    I think my TV is messed up again.
  4. wsnydes
    That's getting a bit drastic isn't it?
  5. wsnydes
    As a Twins fan, I feel the same way.
  6. wsnydes
    Maybe for something different, Moli lets Duffey throw 9 innings.
  7. wsnydes
    He's just bating the pitcher for his next at bat.
  8. wsnydes
    Apparently, 3 K's today.
  9. wsnydes
    So we have that going for us, which is nice.
  10. wsnydes
    Do you trust the bullpen? Perhaps the best thing he's done all season if that is the case.
  11. wsnydes
    And here I spent the last 20 minutes smacking the top of my TV thinking the TV was messed up.
  12. wsnydes
    YOU BLEW IT!!!!!!!
  13. wsnydes
    My screen showing the score seems to have corrected itself.
  14. wsnydes
    Are we still doing that?
  15. wsnydes
    Even though I was a kid when they did this, the fact that you needed to explain that makes me feel really old. Thank you.
  16. wsnydes
    Maybe that's the problem with everyone else. They're all playing the wrong sport.
  17. wsnydes
    I didn't think I had anything to drink this morning, so you might be on to something.
  18. wsnydes
    Are we still at least kind of talking baseball?
  19. wsnydes
    While I'm not really arguing against your point, if we're blaming just skippers I'd say that is more a symptom of all of the minor league skippers rather than just one.

    My only real change to that would be to call Kepler up. I know he's hurt now, but I would have given him a chance anyway. He was trending in the right direction and didn't get a real opportunity while he was with the big club. If Vargas wasn't blocked by two guys, I'd add him to that list too but I don't know how to use him.
  21. wsnydes
    My only real rebuttal to your points is to give the kids they do call up an actual opportunity. Don't sit them on the bench rotting. Actually play them. Every day. Buxton is the only one that got a real opportunity in my view. If they struggle, they struggle. They at least get a taste. They figure out what it takes to be a MLB player.

    No worries, it's been a friendly discussion. My biggest concern this year has been the mismanagement of the prospects when they're up here. Kepler didn't get a legitimate opportunity, Polanco has been abused in my opinion, and Meyer's treatment was a disgrace. Get these guys up and play them. Sitting them on the bench makes no sense at all. I do agree that wins still count for something, but not for the sake of playing veterans over kids just to win. It's more fun to win, it's more fun to watch them win. I'll take losses now to get those guys experience so that they can hopefully win a whole lot more in the coming years or even later this year. Being 40 games or 45 games out at the end of the season isn't a whole lot different.
  23. wsnydes
    Fair point, but not giving them innings and taxing that same beleaguered bullpen was exactly what got him outrighted to begin with. That's why he's is in AAA and not on the 40 man. That wasn't even a month ago. You're more confident in him providing that than I.
  24. wsnydes
    There's nothing wrong with admitting failure. It happens. Not admitting failure and making it worse trying to avoid admitting it is a much bigger problem that only makes things worse.
  25. wsnydes
    I don't disagree with anything you said here. I'm not suggesting that you bring up the same guys that have struggled unless they've earned another shot already. I'm merely stating that we know what we have in Milone. He provides no hope in my mind. He's not going to be a part of the future and is more of the same with what this team already has in the rotation. They should be taking this time to see what they do have in the system. Play the Polanco's and Kepler's when they're up here. Give Meyer a real opportunity. I would have liked to see at least one more start from Berrios. Potentially exposing someone on the 40 man to waivers for the sake of adding Milone back makes no sense to me. Wins this year mean absolutely nothing. Work towards the future and play the youth. That is what provides hope to me.
